Pinangunahan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang paggunita sa 123rd Independence Day na ginanap sa Bulacan Capitol Grounds sa Malolos, Bulacan noong Sabado. Kasamang dumalo ni P-Duterte sina Senator Bong Go, Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo, PNP Chief Guillermo Eleazar, at Armed Forces Chief Cirilito Sobejana.
Naroon din sina National Historical Commission of the Philippines Chairperson Dr. Rene Escalante, Bulacan Governor Daniel Fernando, at Malolos Mayor Gilbert Gatchalian. Nagbigay-pugay din si P-Duterte sa mga bayaning sina Heneral Gregorio Del Pilar at Marcelo H. Del Pilar.
Samantala, mensahe rin ni P-Duterte sa mga Pilipino, sundan ang yapak ng mga magigiting na bayani lalo na ngayong panahon ng pandemya at nagbigay-pugay din siya sa mga health workers, atbp. frontliners.
Aniya pa, "The Philippines has indeed come a long way since the time of the heroes we honor today. We are now a nation that is modern, progressive, and ever-thriving.
"However, our continued progress will only be possible if we have a strong understanding and appreciation of the liberties that we enjoy today. Let us move forward in solidarity and give greater meaning to the freedom of our forebearers achieved for us."
Ayon din kay P-Duterte, magkakaroon na rin ng Wall of Heroes sa Libingan ng mga Bayani bilang pagbibigay-pugay sa mga namatay na health workers.
Aniya pa, “At lahat ng mga namatay — mga doctors, mga nurses… will be honored by their name inscribed in that wall. It is now being built, and I’d like to thank the Armed Forces of the Philippines for their pagmamalasakit.”
